    I still need to change my running light bulb for either an amber bulb or amber led. It looks very white/yellow with my halos and HID's

    If I just change out my normal ones for orange I'll just pick up some from the local autozone. If I go LED I'll order some from superbrightleds.com

    I thought there was a way to just change out the led bulb in the halo?

    I didn't realize you put the retro fit in the stock housings. I thought they were full aftermarket.

    Yeah, I want to switch my blinkers to LED but it's a very tight fit with the length of the stock bulbs. I'll have to do some measuring before I order and LEDs
    Nope. CCFL is like old neons on cars. It's essentially a gas. You'll have to completely remove the CCFL halo and install and LED halo
    Nope. Stock housings with a retrofit kit installed in them.

    OK. Damn that seems like a huge pain in the ass and a lot of room for screw up.

    One ground is directly to the battery, the other is at a bolt that attaches the fender to the body.
    It seems that way, but it's not as bad as many think. Just time consuming. If you still have your stock housings, I suggest you retrofit them with a kit from theretrofitsource.com

    Naw I sold them. These are my third set of headlights if you count the stock set. If had bad luck with water leaking in. I could have fixed the issues I had with the last set but I don't have an oven to bake them in. Haha
